I’m relatively new to Nintex forms so bare with me on my terminology. I created a form where the user needs to input a departure and return date. Based on the dates selected, can a field populate prior to submitting? Meaning if someone was to select days 10/27/2017-10/29/2017 can each individual date then populate in a field below so the user can then give specifics on each date?

can you provide more info on design of your form and what fields should be (pre)populated?

are they standalone fields or are they in repeating section?

The dates are unfortunately not prepopulated. The user would input a departure date and return date. These are 2 separate categories on the list I created (not a repeating section) that are connected to these fields

Based on the dates selected, I would like to have a text box where it will show the departure date and return date selected prior to submitting the form (meaning if I selected 10/31/2017 in the departure date section, it would show 10/31/2017 in a different section). Seeing that the form hasn't been submitted yet, I don't know if it's possible to populate information from one field to another.

if you really want to populate text that needs javascript code.

but if it is just to display selected value on a different place, you could use calculated value control. that would be much easier and straightforward.
